OHIO — The Montgomery County Coroner’s Office has identified a 16-year-old boy who died after an accidental shooting in Dayton on Sunday night.
Dayton Police responded to reports of a shooting in the 700 block of Burwood Avenue around 10:30 p.m.
When officers arrived, they found Tyron Smith, 16, with a gunshot wound to the chest, according to Maj. Brian Johns.
